Heard on the radio news this morning that Farage says that if Reform is elected to government they will only allow "British" people to vote. That's the Status quo then! Shows that he doesn't understand the basic rule of law in this country as I assume he actually means "Englishmen and women", now that's a whole new can of worms to be sure! To further disenfranchise he wants to ban postal votes as well, moron. :gatlin:

Not so I think. Slight case of Farage derangement syndrome. :smile: It's a lot more complex than that. For example Irish citizens can vote.

If you think the postal vote system is satisfactory - then do a bit more research. It is widely held to be open to abuse - mainly by muslims. It was probably a major factor in the Green Party win in the Gorton and Denton and byelection last Thursday. They are doing entryism nto the Greens now -having fallen out with Labour over Gaza.

The Turkish muslim leader Erdogan says "democracy is like a tram - you stay on till you get to your destination -then you get off"

David Whipp expressed concerns at the last general election on the matter. He did not have the courage to report his concerns to the police though. Fear of an accusation of racism I suppose. Watch Raja Miah - he knows.

See who can vote
